I finally got my house today. Bought over a year ago and got the keys today.
It's nice and big and empty.
Now comes the annoying part... Doing the floors, walls, etc. Having them done costs a lot of money, doing it myself... Haha, who am I kidding, I need to LIVE in that house, no way I'm going to mess it up by doing my own floors and walls (I got two left hands, or right, since I'm actually a lefty, although I'm also a bit two-handed since I can do a lot with both hands, anyway the thing I can't do with either of my hands is using a tool properly) 
I also met my neighbours, they seem like nice people!

Good call! I hadn't thought of that... despite having done the same thing 15 years ago.

Don't houses normally come with the floors and walls already in them?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Sure, concrete floors and walls. Not very homely.

Don't forget the wall paintings and some plants when you furnish it. And the entertainment center. And a bed large enough for more than one, um, person. And a hands free toilet. Gotta have the hands free toilet.

Does that have robotic arms that undoes your flies and gets it out?

Personally I've never seen a toilet with hands!

There are sites like imgur or you can use your personal space on CP. You can't just tell us about it with no pics, that's not even right!

Wow, I just found the 'My uploads' section here on CP, never knew that was there!
Anyway, there's a reason I don't have such profiles.
You're welcome to visit though (it's in the Netherlands). So I'll see you saturday around 1pm?

Congrats on the new house. You have to do the floors and walls? Finish/Painting?

Yeah, probably some wallpaper, and/or maybe paint on the walls and PVC on the floors. And of course I'll need curtains, lamps, etc.

Gotcha, never heard of person buying new house and having to do those things. Usually the contractor won't allow it.

What are you talking about?
The house is delivered with concrete floors and walls so each buyer can put in the floors and walls finish they like (paint, stucco, wallpaper, tiles, pvc, laminate, etc.).
All houses are delivered that way. At least over here.

I see, here in the states we don't do that not sure why, well yeah I guess I do most Americans are idiots and couldn't paint a wall to save there ass so the liability on the part of the contractor would be huge.

I'm not American, but neither can I 
I'm hiring someone to do it for me. And it's not the contractor.
It makes sense to me to do it this way though. My house doesn't even have a kitchen in it. Because what's the first thing everyone is going to do if there is a kitchen in the house? They're going to break it out and get their own kitchen that they like.
I know that my neighbour liked cooking and spent about twice as much on his kitchen as I did. But my floor is more expensive because I wanted a good floor that let's heat through (for the floor heating). Everyone has their own preferences so don't let the contractor pick for you. And from the contractors perspective, don't pick for the customer.

Here in the states, it's usually about instant gratification. btw, congrats!
